I am re-posting the following astrological reading, which was given to Rhys by Tasha Van Blaudin. It's pretty spot on.

Rhys Bristol Week of Empathy Born of the Star Empathis Birthdate: June 29 Mode: Feeling Element: Water
Strengths: Financially Astute, Sensitive, Technically Proficient Weaknesses: Aggressive, Fearful, Needy
Strong desire to communicate thoughts and feelings verbally. They also need to be sure that others have understood their message and can see their point of view, even without agreeing with it. Frequently hard to figure out; emotionally complex, they combine sharply contrasting qualities in their psychological makeup. They may give an entirely different impression than in another, according to their mood: may strike one person as outgoing, another as retiring, one as positive and expansive, another as negative and depressive, and still others as easygoing, others as difficult. Only those who really know them can begin to understand and appreciate their depth and diversity. Surprisingly sensitive, deeply empathic; they quickly pick up on the feelings of others, so much so that they may mistake such feelings for their own. If they do not pick up on this early they can find themselves enacting other people's 'scripts' and playing a role in life's daily drama that is not really their own. Because they are so at the mercy of feelings of others as children, they generally cry out for protection. Even when protection is granted, they may spend a lifetime seeking out people to mother and nurture them; HOWEVER, if those born in this week are instead exposed to tough and unsympathetic treatment by their families and, later, by the world, they are capable of surrounding themselves with a virtually impenetrable shell. This results in a great deal of pent-up resentment and frustration that will need to be voiced before they are able to ease their hurt and trust again. Very clever about getting their way. Naturally aggressive, difficulty sublimating this instinct into a positive expression. They can swing from angry outbursts to repression, which often leads them into melancholia, in extreme cases, their anger can be self destructive. Capable of withdrawing from the world for months or even years, doing battle with themselves. Professionally they often do well when self-employed, operating from a home base. Should they choose to have children, the caring and nurturing aspects of their personalities augur well for their abilities as parents. They can be difficult to live with, those who love them will recognize the signs of self-torture and be hard pressed to back off and let them work through it. Patience is an obligatory virtue for those who seek to engage in a relationship with them They can be extremely persuasive, at times too much so.
